  • Patent number: 11899914
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method that includes displaying a graphical user interface (“GUI”) and receiving personalized information from at least one server computing device.

  • Publication number: 20220300866
    Abstract: A method performed by a concierge service implemented by at least one server computing device. The method includes receiving an indication from a user. The indication indicates that the user would like to purchase one or more movie tickets for a particular showtime of a movie or that the user would like to reserve one or more movie tickets for a movie that has not yet been released and for which tickets are not yet available for purchase. If the former, the concierge service completes the purchase of the movie ticket(s) for the particular showtime. If the later, the concierge service creates a ticket reservation by freezing user funds corresponding to a price of the movie ticket(s) when the movie has not yet been released, purchases the movie ticket(s) for the user after the tickets are made available for purchase, and collects the funds that were frozen.
